Avicularia detrita (C. L. Koch, 1842), nomen dubium

Mygale detrita C. L. Koch, 1842: 86, Tab. CCCXVIII, fig. 746; F. O. Pickard-Cambridge 1896: 744; Petrunkevitch 1911: 49; 1939: 286; Mello-Leitão 1923: 377; Roewer 1942: 254.

Remarks.

Analyzing Koch’s drawing, it is possible to note the absence of spatulated scopula, typical of Aviculariinae . Male palpal bulb also seems different from Aviculariinae species. Thus, it is probable that this species belongs to another subfamily, such as Theraphosinae .
